When air traffic operations came to an end at Tempelhofer Feld in October 2008, Berlin regained possession of a 384-hectare site that can now betransformed from a transport facility into an urban development area. The airfield, which served military purposes for two hundred years and was separated by air traffic from the surrounding urban fabric for almost a century, has the potential to become a new element of the inner city inside the suburban railway ring - a great opportunity and a testing challenge for the urban development of Berlin.
Tempelhof Airport has a very special place in the collective memory of West Berlin, standing as it does for the determination of the besieged half of the divided city to survive in freedom in the post-war era. Thus the location is charged with emotions.
Tempelhofer Feld with its central building and airlift monument is a symbolically charged location and a Berlin landmark.
Tall-building is the symbol of this cultural «Field». Tempelhof field develops like one of the most popular public spaces of Berlin. As we have were visiting Tempelhof Field we were inspired by the great number of flying kites over the field. That is the reason why we have chosen form of a kite for the basis of our project.
Tall- building consists of 7 parts, which are turned to each other around 25 degree.
